Quantifying urbanization
Urbanization is a foundational aspect of understanding the human condition, and has been a focus of economic, social, and development study for many years. This code repository is meant to centralize many of the urban analytics performed by the World Bank's Global Operational Support Team (GOST) in support of World Bank Group operations. There are numerous code examples in the notebooks folder including both tutorials and records of project implementations.
This repo includes a GitHub Pages and a Wiki for the documentation.
